1S Giles county, Virginia, there have been
found people who are more degraded than
the savages OF distant lands to whom good
people send missionaries and tons of Bibles.
The stories Of their poverty aud suffering
throw the records OF Irish famines In the
shade, because they are coupled with an
almost total absence OF religious or moral
principle, and yet there are no doubt people
In our own county who are not much better.
1t may be urged that these home heathens
have only themselves to blame, but even that
weak argument cannot apply 10 the children
who are growing up to be the criminals Of
the future. Don't keep charity at home, bu,
let her at least begin there
There are plenty OF well.to.do people in
our community who often regret that they
have nothing particular to live for they feel
that their lives are being wasted and they are
growing old without making the interest due
on their buried talents. At the same time
there are great many drifting along
through life with no chance Of bettering theil
condition unless by some outside help. Il
the first class would take a little trouble they
might by giving this help make their owr
lives happy and useful.

Speed In Vessels.

The Cameron naval bill aims principally
- speed In the vessels that will be con.
eexucted under it and there seems to be
Nledom In the amendment offered by Mr..
Hat that the contractor should receive a
bonus Of $50, 900 for every additional quar-
tor knot attained by the vessel over speed
~ twenty knots an hour, and deduction
OF the same amount for every quarter knot
that the speed might fall below twenty
knots.
The fastest man-Of-war ahoat is the
French cruiser Milan with speed of 1874
10 rough weather, but two vessels are
huilding in England for the Japanese
Which are to make LIST knots. These facts
make the demand for speed greater than
twenty knots seem unreasonable at first !:
but the speed of the ocean racers and
torpedo boats make it evident that if we
NJ TO rely chiefly upon the superior swift.
Noss OF our vessels, the superiority must be

Turkey has six torpedo boats which have
~ record OF 20.3 knots. Austria is building
seyeral which will be required to make %
knots and they are confident will attain q
Knots an hour. Mr.. Hale's amendment
will at least give vessels OF 20 knots an

boats can he done on larger scale, and
~ value of fleet Of vessels so far superior
